Why does everyone think their name is what my baby is going to be called?
My son's father's sister started calling my baby "Kordyn," which I hate. I have voiced this to all of his family that like the name, but they insist on still calling him that lame name. I'm trying not to hurt anyone's feelings and I DID ask them to CONTRIBUTE their ideas, BUT me and his Dad will have the final say-so. Having said that, will my baby respond to that name instead of what his name is really going to be. Besides, that I'm very sensitive, of course, but it's really getting on my nerves. HELP...

Re: Why does everyone think their name is what my baby is going to be called?
For a while my grandmothers and my great aunt were having the best time "helping" me come up with names. My greatgrandmother is dead set on Maggie Mae and refuses to accept the name we have chosen. I don't dare say anything negative about it b/c 1.) her name is Maggie and Maggie Mae is what my greatgrandfather used to call her...I think its way for her to hold on to that memory of him, and 2.) she's 87 years old and there is just no point in changing her mind. I know this is different than your situation but my mom dealt with exact same thing when she was pregnant with my older brother.
My dad's mom wanted him to be named Wayne so bad and so she and her entire side of the family began referring to him as Wayne. I think my mom even received gifts/cards addressed to baby Wayne. They called him that all the way up until he was delivered and then finally realized that his name was not going to be any version of Wayne when they read Randy on the birth certificate!
